Alain Johannes - The Ministry Of Defence Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is the Ministry Of Defence
Stairs and walls are all that's left
Mortar holes let through the air
Kids do the same thing everywhere

[Chorus]
They’ve sprayed graffiti in Arabic
And balanced sticks in human shit

[Verse 2]
This is the Ministry Of Remains
This is the Ministry Of Remains
Fizzy drinks cans and magazines
Fizzy drinks cans and magazines

[Chorus]
Broken glass, a white jawbone
Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon
Human hair, a kitchen knife
And the ghost of a girl who runs and hides
Scratched in the wall in biro pen
'This is how the world will end'

[Verse 3]
There’s the bus depot to the right
There’s the bus depot to the right
Levelled like a building site
Levelled like a building site
[Chorus]
Those are the children's cries from the dark
These are the words written under the arch
Scratched in the wall in biro pen
'This is how the world will end'
